'Bare Necessities' from The Jungle Book

Memorable quote: "You better believe it!"

Nobody can help grooving along the smooth tunes of The Jungle Book, and Bare Necessities is one of those tracks that just gets you tapping your feet and bouncing your shoulders as Baloo teaches us a lesson in using what we have, rather than aiming for things that are impossible to obtain.

Showing himself to be an excitable and friendly bear to his new found friend Mowgli, Baloo takes it upon himself to deliver the 'man-cub' to safety, away from the evils of the jungle.

The song was written for an earlier and rejected draft of the movie, and was the only one to be kept on for the classic we know and love today.
